I’ve had a rollercoaster ride
with food since my teens. It's taken me many years to forge a
healthy relationship with food and my body. Today, I eat a whole
foods diet --- most of the time --- usually choosing foods that
make me feel my best. No, I'm not perfect, but I feel good
about my… Read More »

If you're trying to lose weight, you probably have a goal, your ideal weight, in mind. A good question to ask yourself is, "Where did I get this number?"
Is it what you weighed in high school? Is it what health experts suggest you should weigh, based on your age, body frame and body type?
